Three cliff falls in Sidmouth within 24 hours

Three cliff falls have taken place in Sidmouth in the space of just 24 hours.

They follow a collapse last month which created a huge plume of dust over the town.

Key worker Stu White, 37, was on shift when he noticed the large cloud of dust over the town on Tuesday May 26.

A large cliff fall in April created a huge plume of dust over the town.

A Beach Management Scheme for the town which aims to protect Sidmouth's crumbling cliffs is in place.

The preferred option of the plan would see a new rock groyne placed on East Beach, shingle imported and the height of the seafront splash wall increased.

The scheme which costs around £8.7million, is now moving to the next stage after the funding gap was bridged earlier this month.
